In this case "Left-hemisphere" is a general name for Local observation, where "Right-hemisphere" is a general name for global (non-local) observation.
The exact location of "hot spots" in the brain do not change the fact that the brain's function is a one comprehensive amplitude between the Local and the Global (Non-local).
It is clear that the mathematical community was developed mostly by Local observation that is characterized by strict verbal_symbolic asymmetric expressions.
The visual_spatial non-strict and symmetric expression are almost neglected by this community, and
Organic Mathematics is an afford to combine visual_spatial
AND verbal_symbolic skills into a one comprehensive framework, as follows:
Uncertainly x Redundancy Distinction-Trees (URDT) extends the Principle of Superposition also on the used variables of a given mathematical expression, for example:
A
2=B and A=B are mathematical expressions.
According to URDT, these expressions are some cases of already strict objects (which are notated, in this case, by strict A and strict B symbols) that are used as the variables of, for example, A
2=B and A=B expressions.
Here is an example of URDT tool, in this case:
2-Uncertainty x 2-Redundancy Distinction-Tree shows exactly how a mixture of states in superposition of identities (AB,AB) is changed into strict (A,B) identities:
Code:
(AB,AB) (AB,A) (AB,B) (AB) (A,A) (B,B) (A,B) (A) (B) ()
A * * A * * A * . A * . A * * A . . A * . A * . A . . A . .
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
B *_* B *_. B *_* B *_. B ._. B *_* B ._* B ._. B *_. B ._.
(2,2) = (AB,AB)
(2,1) = (AB,A),(AB,B)
(2,0)= (AB)
(1,1) = (A,A),(B,B),(A,B)
(1,0)= (A),(B)
(0,0)= ()
Any appearance of that tree is called Distinction State (DS), where any DS is under a structure called Frame (F), for example: (AB,B) is a DS that is under F (2,1), where AB is non-strict and B is strict (no uncertainty is involved with strict objects).
An example of strictness is the case of DS (A,B) under F (1,1) under the 2-Uncertainty x 2-Redundancy Distinction-Tree, and this case is an example of the common use among mathematical expressions.
By using URDT one becomes aware of the fact that strict mathematical expressions are nothing but some particular case of more comprehensive framework, which according to it the mathematical expressions themselves are under certain degrees that are defined, for example, between F (2,2) to F (1,0) (F (0,0) is the common null state of all n-Uncertainty x n-Redundancy Distinction-Trees, where n is any non-negative integer).
A fundamental notion that is involved here is the awareness of the fact that the interactions can be done in parallel, serial, or any possible intermediate states between them, where the mathematical expressions themselves are not excluded (otherwise we may get wrong conclusions, which are based on the fact that we actually using only strict expressions as hidden (and unconscious) assumptions of our mathematical work).
URDT may first be used as a tool that helps to be more aware of one’s mathematical work, in order to avoid (as much as possible) hidden assumptions, as shortly explained above.
Maybe URDT can be used as a factor of the formal development of "The Science of Distinction".
A version of some preliminary steps of that subject (of Moshe Klein and me) can be found in the following paper (this version was written before URDT but the notions of URDT are used there):

Here is the abstract taken from Philip J. Davis and James A. Anderson book called “
Nonanalytic Aspects of Mathematics and Their Implication for Research and Education,” SIAM Review 21(1979), 112-117:
Abstract
In this paper we make a distinction between the practice of mathematics as it is usually presented--a logical chain of abstract, analytical reasoning from premises to conclusions--and how mathematics seems to be done in actuality--as a series of nonverbal, analog, often kinesthetic or visual insights. Mathematics in recent years has created a hierarchy with highly abstract, logical and symbolic material at the peak and with more geometrical, visual, and analog material held to be of lesser worth. We argue that humans are known to vary widely in their approaches to cognition and that the areas of the human brain specifically related to language and logical analysis seem to comprise only a part of the machinery of our intellect. We suggest that it would be wise for the practitioners of mathematics, and perhaps especially the students of mathematics to be aware of the very important nonverbal elements in mathematics. We feel that excessive emphasis on the abstract, analytic aspects of thought may have had deleterious effects on the profession and that a more appropriate balance, more in line with our cognitive endowment as humans, is desirable.

The Real-line and non-local numbers
By using verbal_symbolic and visual_spatial skills we get a one comprehensive framework.
For example, by Traditional Mathematics (which is mostly based on verbal_symbolic skills) 0.111...
2 = 0.999...
10 =
1 where
1 is the considered mathematical object (the number itself) and 0.111...
2 or 0.999...
10 are some numerals (out of many representations) that represent number
1.
By using verbal_symbolic and visual_spatial skills as follows:
[qimg]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6142/5962015728_d2fe37cc5f_z.jpg[/qimg]
one understands that no branch of that tree actually reaches any other branch of that tree "downward" , no matter how many levels
that tree has (in other words, there is no homeomorphism between 0 dimensional space (notated by "0";"1" symbols)
and 1 dimensional space (notated by "_____" spatial non-composed object)).
According to this comprehensive framework
0.111...2 is a number of its own < number
1 by
0.000...12 where the "
...1" part
of that number is the irreducibility of ___ 1 dimensional space into 0 dimensional space (known as a point).
By using verbal_symbolic and visual_spatial skills one enables to distinguish between non-local numbers like
0.111...2 or
0.000...12, and local numbers like
1.
Furthermore, no collection of, for example, 0 dimensional spaces along a 1 dimensional space has the power of the continuum of a 1 dimensional space.
By understanding the power of the continuum in terms of spatial skills, one understands that no collection of sub-objects of a given space (mathematical or physical) has the power of the continuum of that space, or in other words, any given collection of sub-objects is incomplete with respect to the "host" space.
The non-locality of
0.111...2 or
0.000...12 is "naturally vague" in terms of location, and one actually discovers/invents that the
Real-line has a non-empty set of non-strict numbers between 0 dimensional space and 1 dimensional space.
(By generalization, given a "host" space, no collection of "hosted" spaces has the power of the "host" space).

About awareness
Awareness' development is first of all the ability to be aware of finer levels of one's thinking process (no matter what meaning is given to thoughts) until one is aware of the finest state of awareness, which is naturally free of any thinking process.
The development of one's awareness is his\her ability to be aware of the finest level without losing it during the thinking process, such that both calmness and activity are present in one's mind without prevent each other.
By developing such state of mind, one is at the optimal conditions to express his\her abilities in any wished way, which is naturally free of contradiction w.r.t other expressions, exactly because one's mind expresses itself right from the source of all possible expressions.
Organic Mathematics is first of all a systematic method that uses mathematical insights in order to open one's mind to the
Unity of simplicity (calmness) and activity (complex expressions).
Here is some
analogy using 1-dimensional space as the
Unity of both straight-line (calmness) and curved-lines (complex expressions), as shown by the following diagram:
[qimg]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3296/5721561558_c5b78c3152_b.jpg[/qimg]
By
gently meditate on the following diagram one is opened to his\her non-subjective level of awareness (illustrated by the straight line), at least at the level of the analogy (which is not the actual non-subjective state of mind).
By this analogy the 1 dimensional space is the
Unity of both calmness and its complex expressions, whether they are symmetric and vogue or asymmetric and strict (including intermediate symmetric\asymmetric states).
